The Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act is an important authorization for our country and for our citizens, as we have seen so vividly in the last few weeks.
My dad took me to see James Brown live, and that’s so cool, cause I don’t think many people my age can say they saw James Brown. I’m pretty proud of that. That’s the thing about me that no one really knows. I had to have been 6 or 7, but I remember it vividly.
The report I remember most vividly from school is the one I destroyed before I got home, telling my parents I’d lost it. Three words stood out, and still do: ‘Must try harder’.

Within the macho-melodrama tropes of the superhero genre, it’s fair to say ‘Watchmen’ stands out for its rich entertainment, its darkness, and its lurid pleasures. Its vividly drawn panels, moody colors and lush imagery make its popularity well-deserved, if disproportionate.

I can remember the day I decided I would retire from competitive athletics as vividly as if it were yesterday.
I suppose that few people ever forget the first sight of a palm-tree of any species. I vividly remember seeing one for the first time at Malaga, but the coco-palm groves of the Pacific have a strangeness and witchery of their own.
The music that was popular in your youth seems to be the music you recall most vividly – and most nostalgically – for the rest of your life. But so is the music that was popular in your parents’ youth.

I vividly remember a conversation I had many years ago in 1974, which marked a turning point in my leadership journey.

We weren’t supposed to work outside NSD but special permission was granted to the students who were shortlisted for the audition.
I visited the Pentagon a few days after September 11, and I still remember so vividly the smell of terror surrounding the entire building and complex. I was angry that such a brutal act of violence was committed against innocent people.
